Make a pesto by blending your fresh herbs with ¼ cup or so olive oil, black pepper, salt.
In a large salad bowl add- the sweet potato and pumpkin, the rocket, nuts. Gently stir through your homemade pesto, and toss well. Husband approved and can be adjusted for babies and toddlers. (Blend a few spoonful’s with boiled water for baby to a smooth consistence.)
